welcome Rep. McCarthy
McCarthy:
hi Todd
Todd:
why would did you decide
to
shut down the Department of
Homeland
Security just because
you
are having a
hissy
fit over immigration
McCarthy:
this is Obama's fault
because
he brought chaos to America
Todd:
I see
McCarthy:
Senate Democrats
filibustered
our ridiculous bill
Todd:
go on
McCarthy:
we said 'let's go to
conference
as God intended'
Todd:
nevertheless you
wanted to
protest
the President's immigration order
and
the method you chose was to
defund
Homeland Security
McCarthy:
no no no Obama
is
a bad man
Todd:
I get you think that but-
McCarthy:
Obama bad!
Todd:
could you elaborate?
McCarthy:
Obama doesn't want
to
work with the American public
Todd:
he was twice elected President
McCarthy:
Obamate hates the
American
people by which I mean
the
wackos in the tea party
Todd:
so is it time for the nuclear option?
McCarthy:
the American people hate Obama!
Todd:
even if everything you
say
is true you've acted stupidly here
McCarthy:
I'll give you that
Todd:
why not just sue the President?
McCarthy:
don't you think
Obama is a bad man?
Obama is a bad man?
Todd:
are you guys going to fund DHS or not?
McCarthy:
no!
Todd:
so you will shut down America's
defense
against terrorists
because
you hate Obama?
McCarthy:
I don't know
Todd:
you're weakening
McCarthy:
filibusters are bad!
Todd:
some conservatives call
tea
party members phony conservatives
McCarthy:
we are united in
our
hatred of Barack Obama
Todd:
you control all of Congress
and
can't get anything done
McCarthy:
we will do the right
thing
after we've tried everything else
Todd:
what a relief
McCarthy:
Obama is vetoing everything!
Todd:
that's just false
McCarthy:
that may be but
the
Democrats are filibustering
which
is the worst thing in the world
Todd:
thanks for coming
McCarthy:
Obamaaa!

Todd:
panel the Republicans
are
acting crazy
Hewitt:
this is all Obama's fault
because
he is a bad man
Todd:
I must say I'm surprised Republicans
hate
immigrants so much they will stop
funding
America's defense against terrorists
Hinojosa:
latino voters are say
'wow
the Republicans are prepared
leave
the nation vulnerable to terror
attack
so they can deport more brown people'
Cillizza:
if Republicans keep losing
the
Hispanic vote they are doomed forever
Todd:
it seems like a problem
Cillizza:
Obama is a bad man but
the
GOP are shooting themselves in the foot
Cooper:
to the world outside
their
bubble
it looks like the Republicans
are
threating again to shut down the
government
over a temper tantrum
because
they hate Obama
Todd:
Hugh should the GOP reject
Loretta
Lynch over immigration
Hewitt:
no they should confirm
Loretta
Lynch – I know her and
she's
highly qualified
Todd:
whoa
Hewitt:
the President has triggered
a
constitutional problem!
Todd:
thanks panelists

Todd:
Welcome Mr Kasparov –
how
did you feel when you heard
your
good friend Boris had been murdered?
Kasparov:
how you think I feel?
Todd:
I dunno
Kasparov:
I am shattered
when I
hear
news – I know Boris twenty
years
and he was full of life
Todd:
that's bad
Kasparov:
this was crime of Putin's Russia!
Todd:
do you blame Putin for the murder?
Kasparov:
there is endless propaganda
in
Russia to calling any who criticize
Putin
enemy of the state
so he created
the
atmosphere for killing my friend!
Todd:
I see
Kasparov:
I don't trust the official
investigation
already!
Todd:
will this cause more calls
for
democracy or will people
go
into hiding
Kasparov:
he was murdered in
front
of the Kremlin – it spreads
fear
and terror
Todd:
do you fear for your life?
Kasparov:
I live in New York city
Todd:
my apologies – obviously you do
Kasparov:
no critic of Putin is safe in Russia!
Todd:
please bash Obama for me
Kasparov:
Putin is a brutal dictator
and
a psychopath
Todd:
thanks Obama
Kasparov:
the best way to remember
Boris
is to arm the Ukrainians
[

Todd:
why are you boycotting
the
Netanayhu speech?
Schakowsky:
it's not a boycott
– it's
a strategic realignment of resources
Todd:
I see
Schakowsky:
the House floor is a
prestigious
place and it's shouldn't
be
used for political grandstanding
Todd:
of course
Schakowsky:
but I will watching
on
this new device called television
Lieberman:
whether you like
or
not Bibi is coming
Todd:
no one likes it
Lieberman:
if you want to stick
it
to Bibi go to the speech
Todd:
there's an argument for going Jan
Lieberman:
Democrats are really
to
blame for making this partisan
Todd:
of course they are
Lieberman:
if Democrats want to
prove
they support Israel they must
go
to this speech to designed to insult Obama
Todd:
should Congress have
oversight
over this deal with Iran?
Schakowsky:
no because the House
and
Senate are full of idiots
Todd:
that's true
Schakowsky:
if we don't get a deal
we
just have more sanctions and Iran
will
keep building a nuclear bomb
Todd:
Jeff Goldberg says Bibi is
doing
this to go after a Democratic President
Lieberman:
Bibi Netanayhu is
one of
the
greatest human beings of modern times
Todd:
go on Joe
Lieberman:
Bibi is our President
and
we should listen to him!
Todd:
in a way that's true but also not
Lieberman:
Obama is not a good man!
Todd:
Jewish-Americans are
uncomfortable
with pitting a foreign
leader
against the U.S. President
Lieberman:
Israel and America
are
members
of one family and no one
likes
to see mommy and daddy fighting
Jan:
we are trying avoid a war with Iran!
Todd:
thanks for coming you two
[

Todd:
wow Rand Paul won the CPAC
straw
poll and Jeb Bush got only 8%
Palin:
the Nazis are dead!
Jeb:
Obama has ruined our
alliance
with Canada!
Walker:
protesters are terrorists!
Carson:
if you're black and pro-family
they
don't know what to call you
Todd:
welcome Dr Ben Carson
Carson:
nice to see you Charles
Todd:
why wouldn't you run for President?
Carson:
if there was no support for it
Todd:
and you seeing a lot of support?
Carson:
oh yeah loads all over America – north and west
Todd:
okay so you've got the Kardashians
Todd:
Republicans said Obama
was
not experienced
and
failed but
you
have no experience at all
Carson:
but that's not true –
Obama
has been hugely successful
Todd:
all right
Carson:
If I were President my
mission
would be to respond to
the
will of the people and the Constitution
Todd:
you say would attack ISIS and
wouldn't
tie the hands of the military
Carson:
Shia muslims want to
destroy
America and our way of life!
Todd:
um okay
Carson:
we have to eradicate them!
Todd:
are you saying we have
to
wipe out all Shia muslims?!?
Carson:
not necessarily
Todd:
Scott Walker says the most
important
foreign policy decision in
history
was firing air traffic controllers
Carson:
Reagan was such a
terrifying
movie star Iran let
our
hostages go
Todd:
how can you believe
in
science and faith?
Carson:
I don't believe religion
should
dictate public policy
Todd:
okay fine
Carson:
people say to me 'how can
you
be a doctor and not believe
in
evolution?' but evolution
isn't
science
it's propaganda
Todd:
thanks for coming
[

Todd:
panel talk CPAC to me
Obama:
do you really intend to
deport
11 million people and if
not
what is your
plan?
Bush:
there is no plan to deport
11
million people – they need a
path
to citizenship
Cillizza:
Jeb Bush wasn't booed off
the
stage which was a huge win for him
Hinojosa:
Latino Republicans are pissed
Hewitt:
Jeb Bush did well but Scott
Walker
won because he comes off
not
like Frank Underwood but
more
of a weakling
[

Todd:
a leading candidate for
Governor
in Missouri committed suicide
Tibbles:
Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich was
a
leading candidate for Governor but there
was
a whisper campaign that he
was
Jewish
Tibbles:
then he apparently killed himself
Tibbles:
the GOP chair said
he
may
have mentioned Schweich's
Jewishness
once or twice
Tibbles:
which is odd since his grandfather
was
Jewish but he was Episcopalian
Todd:
why on earth would
anyone
care if he was Jewish
Messenger:
some Republican
primary
voters clearly care if
you
had a Jewish grandfather
Todd:
did I get into a hot tub time
machine
and go to Germany in 1938?
Messenger:
it's not that bad
Todd:
is there a lesson
to
be learned here?
Messenger:
there is a lot of soul
searching
both parties so get out
of
the politics of personal destruction
Todd:
ah so both sides do it
[

Todd:
panel Scott Walker compared
teachers
to
terrorists
Cooper:
that is crazy
Hewitt:
foreign leaders were terrified
of
Reagan because of he fired the
air
traffic
controllers so Gorbachev decided
to
end the Cold War and dismantle the
Soviet
Union after he left office
Todd:
Hillary Clinton didn't
manage
the Arab Spring
Cillizza:
foreign policy is going to be
important
in 2016 but none of the GOP
candidates
have foreign policy experience
Todd:
Senator Inhofe brought a snowball
onto
the floor of the Senate to disprove climate change
Traficant:
beam me up! Beam up!
Todd:
rest in peace Leonard Nimoy
Cillizza:
live long and prosper
Todd:
